I recall that the Frankfurt [music] department replied to you very courteously; perhaps you could approach them. Then be so kind as to send me their reply. 2 I received your lovely letter= OJ 14/45, [43]; on Thursday I shall finish the first Yearbook , which was begun on February 27, 1925, and contains as much as eight issues of Der Tonwille . Then I shall write [continuing in the left margin, top to bottom:] more, in peace. 3 Please, this is very urgent. © Translation William Drabkin, 2013 |
